chiisa na sekai!

i miss Japan! everything about it. man.. wish i could go back to my dreamland! from the tokyo day tour, asakusa, the street food, the considerate and polite people, the cosy home, hato bus, shrines, gardens, densha, tsudanuma no eki, walking hina-chan, home-cooked dinners, waking up to the smell of mari-san's bagels and toasts, rushing thru our make-up, morning rush-hours, densha-san, getting squashed in the trains, disneyland, the castle, toon town, space mountain, splash mountain, roller coasters, the happiest cruise ever sailed-it's a small world, being amused by 'Pooh-san', parades, stars festival, making our wishes, ono-san, getting excited before the rides, marveling at the attractions, taking pictures with characters and little kids, exploring harajuku ourselves, fcuk, takeshita dori, shibuya, getting confused by the complexed subway networks, hina-chan's footsteps, her whining, her sneaking beside as while we're asleep, eliza getting irritated by hina, "otousan gohan!", mt-fuji, rice-balls, hakone, cruise, the cable car that brought us to heaven, people thinking we're japanese, shinkansen/bullet train, getting excited when we cld extend our stay, suki-yaki at home, tsukiji fish market, suit guys, sushi-san, terebi-san, 3rd time at harajuku, meeting nice people, taking lots of pictures, super-market, trying to squeeze everything into our luggages, the loooong and exhausting walk from home to the station with our luggages.. mari-san's motherly love, her little talks before bedtime, slowly grasping the language, mastering the japanese way of saying "EHHHH!! uso!!", uncle nonaka, keiko-chan, hina-chan, eliza aka junko-chan the one who went thru all these with me......until i finally have to wake up to reality.

i love the songs from the disneyland electrical parade and it's a small world! thinking back from the moment we stepped outta the plane.. how much we anticipated from the trip, to the moment we bade goodbye to our hosts, mari-san and uncle nonaka..the fun, and laughter and joyness of the whole trip we remember.. it makes me feel like crying man. it was my best holiday ever!

this song makes me so happy but nostalgic..

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears;
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears;
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world, after all.

It's a Small World, after all
It's a Small World, after all
It's a Small World, after all
It's a small, small, world.

There is just one moon and one golden sun,
And a smile means friendship to everyone;
Though the mountains divide,and the oceans are wide,
It's a small world, after all.

Sekaijû dare datte,
Hohoemeba nakayoshi sa,
Heiwa inori te o kumi arukô,
Chiisa na sekai.

Sekai wa hitotsu,
Sekai wa onaji,
Sekai wa marui,
Tada hitotsu.

Kotoba wa minna chigatte mo,
Minna no kokoro wa onaji,
Katakumi atte mirai e arukô,
Chiisa na sekai!

Dun hold on to your memories till it becomes a burden to yourself. Reality's harsh, but it is the presence of pleasant memories , coupled with invaluable experience that enables you to go thru the harsh reality. I do know that im in no position to comment on anything cuz im just sailing thru the net waves reading here n there but that's just my honest opinion. Hope it does not anger u

who are you? i know u're someone i know.. thnx for your honest opinion anyway, i don't think the memories will become a burden coz if they do i'd be crying every single day and that is too crazy.

that's gd to hear. My identity is of little importance,bringing joy to the people around me is the only joy that i can derive and if i could even be of any little help to you to bring that faint ray of light into ur life, im relieved enough.

Just another insignificant individual?Im not hinting anything about myself or you but don't take those who care for you for granted, lest one day they stop caring for you.I guess its because of my predicament that im saying these. Do pardon me for typing such discouraging things. And,It is my utmost pleasure to see that your day has been brightened. Rest assured that i will not post any unnecessary comments on your blog, unless i detect a tinge of melancholy in it. Cuz i feel that life is too short to waste on unproductive wallowing. Its a little longwinded yes, but i just like to say these kinda things.
